Does this unit have a built in drum machine?

I like live real instrumental sounds anyway. I hate beat machines and any other fake synthetic sounds. I love this studio tho. A good buy

Hey Kelly, the DP-03 doesn't have a drum machine, either. I don't really recall seeing any newer multitrack recorders featuring these, except for the Zoom R24 recorder. It is similar in price to the Tascam DP-03, but without a disc burner. On the other hand, it will also function as an audio interface for your computer, and has the built-in drum machine.Isn't it annoying how recorders all have only *some* of the features you find useful? :P

Yes and no. It does include all of the cables, but it doesn't have everything you need to play. The most notable absence is the kick drum pedal. You need one of those, or you can't play the bass drum. You need your own sticks, too, and if you want to hear yourself play, you either need headphones with a 1/4-inch plug or an adapter to enable you to plug in your 1/8-inch headphones. If you want other people to hear you play, you'll have to buy a drum amplifier and a cable to connect it to the module. I don't think it comes with a drum throne, either, so you'll need a stool or something to sit on. Yes and no. It does include all of the cables, but it doesn't have everything you need to play.

No. Bought it for my son did not come with bass drum pedal. Didn't understand that. But once I got a pedal for it, it works and sounds really good.

No, this does not have any built-in sounds. It is strictly a MIDI controller. You must either have a hardware sound module that responds to MIDI, or you must have a computer and appropriate software (like GarageBand, for example) for this to do anything interesting.

Yes. There is a 1/4" aux input and a 1/8" line input you can use to play music through while drumming.

Yes it is included. It is actually quite functional. I was in the local Sam Ash yesterday and they had a dozen kits of different colors for $388. I suggest going online to all the big music outlets and getting the lowest price and then going to Musicians Friend and have them match it. when you get some cash after the kit buy yourself some Evans 360 clear batter heads all around and you will hear a different set of drums. I muffled the kick drum with a towel and that thing kicked a--. I just bought a new set of Tama Starclassic BB Vintage Marine Pearl and will be putting a video up on snakepit456 channel on You Tube along with my other drum videos,I have a link somewhere on my original comment that will take you to the Sonor video Good luck!!!

No it does not, that I can see. Good machine however you really need to fiddle with it as manual is not precise.

No, this thing has not much functions just simple drum beats. Not much selections of beats either compare to other drum machines. But souns realy good . Its good for when your drumer cant be at practice

No drum kits are included, if by interface you mean compatible programs then yes. The list off programs it works with is the usual suspects.

This is a simple drum machine. I suppose you can do all that if you have fast hands to turn the knobs and push the buttons while you are playing. Look up the manual.

No idea what you mean by "drum patterns" ... you don't get any with this. HOWEVER, I've done hundreds of songs from start to finish and I love this unit. You may find that mixing down to 2-channel then finalizing it all with sound-editing software is even better than the mastering features the 2488 has, but its still a superior device. I just did a band demo now posted on the Internet back in October 2013 with it.

yes it does, if I remember right. I know it came with the strips and I think the drum was in it. But if not it wasn't hard to load. I hope this helps.

No it doesn't . But this unit only worked for about a month for me before it broke.

It comes with everything but the bass drum pedal! On Amazon I also purchased a really good electronic "double" bass drum pedal. Even if it did come with a basic "single" bass drum pedal, I more than likely would have bought it still.

No it does not and it is not a bad mixer but it was not compatible with my DJ software
